About This Wine
Marsh Hawk's Plunge
Petite Sirah
This beautifully structured wine is stoic but still sublimely elegant. We love the way flavors fly around in the glass. With a nose containing dark fruit, violets, and a subtle hint of baked graham cracker, how could it be anything but delicious? It comes from Dunnigan Hills, a region with a large diurnal shift (warm days to grow the grapes, but cold nights that let the grapes recover to retain their natural acidity). The raspberry, blackberry, and dried cranberry notes easily support full-bodied dishes like aged cheeses, barbecue, or even chicken in a mole sauce. And judges love it too! It took home 90 Points and a Gold medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.
